'It's hard to focus fully': Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers reveals his players are struggling to prepare for games due to coronavirus restrictions

Leicester take on Zorya Luhansk in their opening Europa League group fixture on Thursday, the second match in a sequence of six in 20 days.

After winning their opening three Premier League games, including a 5-2 win at Manchester City, Leicester then suffered consecutive home defeats to West Ham and Aston Villa.
